One of the subconscious resistances we have to taking care of ourselves stems from the recognition that we have it better than so many other people in the world. Because we recognize this, we may feel bad taking care of anything beyond our basic needs.
This situation can be compounded when others see us as their go-to person to help them or others, and we find it hard to turn away those in difficulty.
Because of this, I sometimes struggle to take sufficient time to tap for myself beyond a little emotional first aid in the moment.
To overcome this resistance, I have started tapping for someone new. That person is “Future Gene”. Future Gene is exactly what he sounds like, it is me in the future.
The funny thing is that I am willing to tap for Future Gene, even when I am not willing to tap for myself at the moment.
In this week’s podcast I explore this off-the-wall idea and how you can incorporate it into your tapping as well.

Thanks, Gene! This feels really encouraging and empowering, and not like I’m piling on heaps of impossible-to-achieve expectations. I plan to test it out more over the next few weeks.
Trank you. I loved that. Exactly what I needed today.
